Imminent collision: vehicle stops.
Driverless vehicles will mandate more divided highways complete with barriers.
The only valid use for autopilot on the road is on the high-speed multilane highways that have few possibilities of collisions. In other situations one needs an honest-to-God, alert person to drive the car or truck in the event that someone does anything other than follow some other course of driving (like making a left turn).
Is it possible to create a program that allows an automated vehicle to stop when (a classic warning in driver's education) a ball goes into the street? (The idea is that a child is likely to chase the ball, disregarding vehicles).

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
